Abstract
Coordinating transmission power for small-coverage base stations deployed in a wireless communication network may comprise, for example, receiving a plurality of measurement reports corresponding to two or more base stations, determining a coordinated coverage condition for the base stations, and setting a transmission power for at least one of the base stations based on the measurement reports and the coverage condition.
Claims44
A method for coordinating transmission power for small-coverage base stations deployed in a wireless communication network, comprising:
- receiving a plurality of measurement reports corresponding to two or more base stations;
- determining a coordinated coverage condition for the base stations;
- and
- setting a transmission power for at least one of the base stations based on the measurement reports and the coverage condition.
An apparatus for coordinating transmission power for small-coverage base stations deployed in a wireless communication network, comprising:
- at least one processor configured to:
- receive a plurality of measurement reports corresponding to two or more base stations,
- determine a coordinated coverage condition for the base stations, and
- set a transmission power for at least one of the base stations based on the measurement reports and the coverage condition;
- and
- memory coupled to the at least one processor.
An apparatus for coordinating transmission power for small-coverage base stations deployed in a wireless communication network, comprising:
- means for receiving a plurality of measurement reports corresponding to two or more base stations;
- means for determining a coordinated coverage condition for the base stations;
- and
- means for setting a transmission power for at least one of the base stations based on the measurement reports and the coverage condition.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising code, which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform operations for coordinating transmission power for small-coverage base stations deployed in a wireless communication network, the computer-readable medium comprising:
- code for receiving a plurality of measurement reports corresponding to two or more base stations;
- code for determining a coordinated coverage condition for the base stations;
- and
- code for setting a transmission power for at least one of the base stations based on the measurement reports and the coverage condition.
